Xu "Deputy" Supervisor
Liang Qu stopped rocking the oar and waited for the arrival.
After getting closer, I realized that the person was standing on an extremely long and narrow canoe, which looked a bit like a one-man rowing boat, but slightly wider. The side was hung with things similar to fishing rods.
But these are not the point. The point is that the opponent can quickly approach him without shaking the oar! He is a master!
Liang Qu felt awe-struck and became vigilant.
Ordinary people don't have the ability to control water, so it must be some kind of special power to be able to do it without wind.
Thinking about it, he should have noticed when he was called - the sound that an ordinary person can make in an open area reaches up to 100 meters into the sky. Previously, the other party was at least one mile away from him, but the sound was extremely clear.
With Liang Qu's current strength, his skills are a little inferior. Fortunately, his foundation is strong enough. He is about 50-50 equal to Martial Master, who is new to Galloping Horse. But on the river, Galloping Horse's Dzogchen is not a bad idea.
The visitor was around thirty years old, between young and middle-aged. He was dressed in gray clothes embroidered with gold patterns.
But Martial Artist cannot simply judge age by appearance. Some people may be in their early fifties if they look young.
Walking in front of Liang Qu, Xu Yuelong raised his hand and said, "Little brother, do you know which direction Ping Yang County is? How far away is it."
"That way, it's almost twelve miles away."
Liang Qu stretched out his finger.
"Thanks for the guidance, little brother." Xu Yuelong cupped his hands and was about to leave when he accidentally glanced at Liang Qu twice, revealing his surprise.
Then he looked carefully up and down and saw that the fishing gear on the boat was complete, and he was quite curious, "My little brother is a fisherman? He has good kung fu training? He became a Martial Artist and went out to fish? He should be able to find other better jobs, right?"
Liang Qu is becoming increasingly vigilant.
The other party could actually tell at a glance that he had practiced martial arts.
He thinks that his level of Qi Concealment is pretty good. Unless he is in the Wolf Smoke Realm world, he shouldn't easily see that he is inferior.
Great master! Unexpectedly, the opponent's next performance left Liang Qu confused.
After Xu Yuelong finished his own analysis, he couldn't help but nod his head, and took the boat around the boat. "Martial Artist, who was born as a fisherman, is not bad."
He got off the boat and went fishing alone in a small boat. He was fascinated by fishing. When he realized it, the fleet had disappeared.
Xu Yuelong didn't have a map with him, so he could only set up his boat and walk along the direction in his memory. It took him a long time to see the figure, and he wanted to come up and ask for directions. It was such a coincidence that he met a good seedling.
Being so young and a fisherman, Qi and Blood is not bad at strength, so he is a natural candidate for becoming a river official!
I was worried that I didn't have enough manpower, and it was perfect to have local people in front of me.
Xu Yuelong sent out an invitation. "Are you interested in coming to River Conservancy Office? I'll start as a junior official. If I work for a few more years, I might be able to become a river chief. That's a serious official position."
River Conservancy Office?! Is it such a coincidence? Liang Qu was quite surprised. "Dare I ask, sir?"
"Ping Yang County River Conservancy Office is the new deputy leader, Xu Yuelong." Xu Yuelong lifted up a corner of his clothes, revealing Waist Token with a big "Xu" character painted on it.
My boss?
Liang Qu is very confused.
Counting the days, River Conservancy Office officials should indeed have arrived in the past two days.
But he didn't know why it was such a coincidence that he met him just after he went out! Are all River Conservancy Office people so stylish, floating on the river with a small boat?
Liang Qu quickly bowed and took out a River Earl Waist Badge with a similar shape. "River Conservancy Office The new River Earl Liang Qu has met Mr. Xu."
Xu Yuelong glanced at Waist Token: "Liang Qu, Yang Dongxiong Uncle Yang's disciple?"
The other party's name for Master Yang was strange, but Liang Qu still nodded. "Exactly."
Xu Yuelong was very surprised.
He came out today casually, and meeting Liang Qu was a coincidence among coincidences.
It is impossible to fake your identity to have a chance encounter!
The fisherman in front of me is really a disciple of Yang Dongxiong!
Thinking of the Di newspaper he had read before, Xu Yuelong was overjoyed. "The person who invented Pinyin is you, boy. I told you why Martial Artist came to fish. It turned out to be one of our own."
Liang Qu I don't quite understand, what are you talking about?
Seeing Liang Qu puzzled, Xu Yuelong explained, "My father is Count Guanying Xu Wenzhu, and my grandfather is Duke of Wei Xu Youguang, Uncle Yang risked his life to save my father on the battlefield. As long as I can remember, my father asked me to call him Uncle Yang.
Later, Uncle Yang's second son died on the battlefield. He wanted to retire and return home, which was my father's final approval. Otherwise, with Uncle Yang's strength at the time, it would have been difficult for him to retire. "
That's it!
Liang Qu suddenly realized.
He knew that Master Yang had previously worked under Xu General Wen Zhu, but he didn't expect that Master Yang had such a glorious past, let alone that his boss would have such a connection with him.
Good thing! What a great thing! My boss calls his Master uncle. If Liang Qu had such a strong relationship in his previous life, he would have risen to prominence a long time ago. He would not have become an overtime dog who would come and go as soon as he was called.
Xu Yuelong sighed, "What a pity."
Liang Qu The dark feeling is not good, why is there a twist? "Originally, I was supposed to be Chief Supervisor, but I never thought that someone would step in and become a deputy."
"It was?"
Liang Qu smelled the smoke.
Xu Yuelong sat on his boat, took out a fishing rod from the side, hung up the bait skillfully, and threw it into the river. He patted the hull of the boat and motioned for Liang Qu to sit down and chat together.
Liang Qu was sitting on the bow of his Black Awning Boat, listening to Xu Yuelong talk.
"Do you think Ghost Mother Sect can beat Da Shun?"
"Of course it's impossible. Ghost Mother Sect is nothing but a thing of the past. He can only survive by hiding in the water."
"So this is a winnable battle, right?"
Liang Qu nodded, then shook his head.
"Oh? What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"
"From the perspective of the general trend, it is indeed a winnable battle, but from the perspective of specific things, it is not necessarily true. Duke of Wei did not do its full work back then. The water swamp is difficult to attack. On the one hand, there are three nails in the rotten ship of the Ghost Mother Sect. On the other hand, if it is really so easy to deal with, the imperial court will not set up Ping Yang County, or even Pingyang Prefecture in the future."
Xu Yuelong laughed, "You have some insights, have you read a book?"
"Reading for half a year."
"Well, that's true, but in the final analysis, the only one who can win this battle is Da Shun, but who will take the credit for winning?"
Liang Qu's thoughts were like lightning. "Does everyone regard the bandit suppressors as fat men?"
Xu Yuelong nodded. "That's right. My father asked me to be River Conservancy Office's leader just because he wanted to get some merit. It was supposed to be planned, but Duke of Liang stepped in and sent his grandson to be Chief Supervisor, so I can only be the second in command."
Liang Qu is a little confused. He is studying in the academy and knows about Da Shun's relationship with the court.
If I remember correctly, Duke of Liang should not be as powerful as Duke of Wei, right? Duke of Wei was the duke who was enshrined at the beginning of the founding of the country, while Duke of Liang was the one who made meritorious service later. The gold content is completely different. How could Xu Yuelong be pushed down so easily? "I guess you're wondering why I got pushed down so easily, right?"
Liang Qu nodded.
"The reason is very simple, that is, my grandfather is more powerful than Duke of Liang, and my grandfather's sons are also more powerful than Duke of Liang's sons, so they can't win over Duke of Liang. Can you understand?"
Liang Qu thought about it for a while and came to some realization.
That's how it goes.
It's too powerful, but it can't steal the less powerful ones.
After all, the one in charge is Son of Heaven.
"If you want me to be the leader, you will be more comfortable. Unfortunately, Duke of Liang's grandson is difficult to deal with!"
